La Feria [modular hedonism]

The Peony Pavilion is a romantic tragicomedy play written by dramatist Tang Xianzu in 1598. The play has a total of 55 scenes and the plot depicts a love story between the young scholar Liu and his beloved Du, a maiden of sixteen, whom he first meets in a dream and later successfully marries after she has died of longing for him. The play was originally written for staging as Kunqu opera, one of the genres of traditional Chinese theatre arts.
Written for solo violin and solo cello accompanied by two antiphonal string ensembles consisting of 10 violins, 4 violas, 2 cellos, and 2 double basses, Peony Pavilion for Violin, Violoncello and Orchestra was first performed on March 12, 2009, by the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. The work lasts 12 minutes and has two sections.  The first section depicts Du visiting her deserted family garden with her maidservant. The second section depicts Du sinking into a daydream in which she encounters Liu and falls in love with him; and then, the dream is suddenly interrupted. When Du wakes and realizes that all is a dream, she is heartbroken and falls ill.  Peony Pavilion is distributed by the Universal Edition.

Peony Pavilion for Violin, Violoncello and Orchestra (8-minute excerpt)

Red Cliff is a concerto for piano and Western symphony orchestra, structured seamlessly within a single movement divided into four sections. Its thematic genesis draws inspiration from Luo Guanzhong’s esteemed 15th-century historical novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a foundational work within the canon of Chinese literature. Situating itself amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Three Kingdoms period, a pivotal epoch marking the decline of the Han dynasty in the 3rd century CE, the concerto encapsulates the enduring resonance of Chinese cultural heritage spanning millennia. Narratively, the composition encapsulates the climactic Battle of Red Cliff. In this pivotal event, three potent warlords—Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan—contend for dominion over the empire, ultimately catalyzing the emergence of the titular Three Kingdoms.
Comprising four contiguous sections, the concerto unfolds a multifaceted musical narrative:
1.	"Paying 3 Visits to A Recluse’s Cottage" (mm. 1- 56): Embarking with an adagio passage reminiscent of the opening strains of the renowned pipa composition "Waves Dredging Sand" by the blind folk musician Ah Bing (1893-1950), this section evokes the pivotal moment when Liu Bei secures the allegiance of the strategic genius Zhuge Liang after three personal entreaties.
2.	"Heated Debate" (mm. 57-174): Transitioning into an Allegro tempo, the composer deftly employs motifs from "Waves Dredging Sand" as thematic material, orchestrating six dynamic variations that vividly portray Zhuge Liang's persuasive arguments to rally Sun Quan and his military advisors in support of the alliance against Cao Cao.
3.	"Sorrowful Parting" (mm. 175-261): In a poignant departure, the composition channels the emotive essence of a renowned traditional Chinese opera aria, "Sorrowful Parting," attributed to Zhou Yu, as he bids farewell to Huang Gai. This lyrical interlude encapsulates the pathos of impending sacrifice amidst strategic machinations.
4.	“Battle of Red Cliff" (mm. 262-407): Culminating in a virtuosic display, the final segment encapsulates Huang Gai's audacious stratagem, depicting the daring incendiary assault on Cao Cao's fleet. As Huang Gai's "defecting" squadron unleashes infernal chaos, the flames engulf Cao Cao's armada, precipitating a decisive victory for the allied forces.
On October 9, 2016, at the esteemed Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the world premiere featured virtuoso Ching-Yun Hu as soloist, accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia under the baton of Dirk Brossé. Subsequently, the composer undertook a re-orchestration of the concerto for a traditional Chinese orchestra, culminating in the world premiere of the revised version on October 6, 2018, at the National Concert Hall in Taipei. Ching-Yun Hu reprised the role of soloist, accompanied by the National Chinese Orchestra Taiwan under the direction of the composer, Yiu-Kwong Chung.  The entire composition lasts 14 minutes. This track is the live recording of the world premiere on October 9th, 2016. Ching-Yun Hu and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, Kimmel Center, Philadelphia. Conductor: Dirk Brossé.

Lyrics:
 
Fucked up every hour on a weekday (weekeday)
Flexing on my exes oh my god
(Oh my god, oh my god)
I just fucked another freak (freak), doin’ donuts on the quad
(On the quad, on the quad)
Geeked up on the motor got the engine running deep popping rocks at the bottom of my feet
(Of my feet, of my feet)
I don’t care about the topic if your talking ‘bout me got another couple racks up for the cheese
Like oh my god  (oh my god)
I don’t know, what the fuck  (what the fuck)
Is going on
Like oh my god
Yeah you shouldn’t pull up  (pull up)
Cause we don’t give a fuck about love (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
 
Sit and watch me eat a bun, a vampire, Ima inaawon
That check I want the biggest one, left and right pocket arm big and pun
I’m landing on my fucking heels, I just moved to the fucking hills
She don’t want to give me grill, but she want me to fuck her still
These niggas just lil’ fruit cups
We got three k’s no klu klux
At Soho in the suite with two sluts
It is 3 am and they are too much
You see the bank roll in my pocket
Talk crazy I’ll blow your ass with a rocket
Took the plug cause he was out of socket
Gettin’ top cause she was out of pocket when she said that she wasn’t
Giving in to me, everyday on freeze, teleport me please
And my watch big D’s, pants sagging cause bankrolls and these keys
Memory loss from drank flex and weed
 
Fucked up every hour on a weekday, flexing on my exes oh my god
(oh my god, oh my god)
I just fucked another freak (freak), doin’ donuts on the quad
(on the quad, on the quad)
Geeked up on the motor got the engine running deep popping rocks at the bottom of my feet
(of my feet, of my feet)
I don’t care about the topic if your talking bout me got another couple racks up for the cheese
Like oh my god (oh my god)
I don’t know (I don’t know)
What the fuck (what the fuck), is going on
Like oh my god, yeah you shouldn’t pull up (pull up)
Cause we don’t give a fuck about love (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Like oh my god
I don’t know, what the fuck, is going on
Like oh my god, yeah you shouldn’t pull up
Cause we dont give a fuck about love

Release Text:
Lebedev (RU) is one of the most prolific house music producers on the scene today, with track after track hitting the charts. All his productions have his unmistakable style, heir to the funkiest house of the 90s, with jackin’ rhythms perfect for the dance floor.

We are delighted to present his debut ep on Cyanide, “Jazz Piano”, with a solid jackin’ base, warm rhodes stabs, and yes, a melancholic piano jazz that drops from time to time, providing a great dose of quality. On remix duties, we have a regular of the label, WillowMan, which presents a more disco version of “Jazz Piano”, equally very effective on the dance floor.
